What constitutes glory
Sordid materiallsts would answer the
question by saving that glory lies In the
possession Of gold; in the possession of
those things which minister to the bru-
ish enjoyment of the sensualities.
True glory consists not in the posses
sion of tha at which the rust Of time de-
yours, but in ownership of that which
neither tin . nor the elements can ef.
face-the consciousness Of having done
something that will tend to benefit
those Of the race whose destiny 1t isl to

AN iNsoLEHT sRAeaART.
An Infamous Proceeding BY New
York Police Captain.

New York Leader.
Captain McCullagh informs propri.
etors Of halls that II thoy let them on
Sunday nights for An narchist meetings
and then sell beer to those who come to
them he will raid their places. Yet the
same presumptuous interpreter of city
laws and ordinances will not be found
raiding the same places, when vice.
breeding, singing and possibly indecent
dancing may be in progress, while beer
drinking is unlimited. What we want to
know is where Captain McCullagh gets
his authority to discriminate in this
way.
His braggarts in blue are employed to
enforce the law and maintain the peace.
They are not its makers nor its interpre.
ters. Captain McCulla aQh deserves inn
iLediate trial and on conviction an in
slant dismissal. In :he first place he
has no authority whatever to prohibit
rnv public meeting, on sunday or any
other night. 1t may be hisdutv to take
precautions to prevent a breach Of the
peace, but even. then be violates the law
and exceeds his powers when be
parades or uses his force 90 as to over
awe. or try.to, any assemblage engaged
in the discussion Of public grievances.
II the speakers use language calculated
and designed to breed public disorder.
there art awful means Of holding them
responsible. But tbs use Of these means
does not lie within } police captains
province. His power is comprised
within the term ito maintain the place."
These are simple truisms when written
down, ., d are known to all Americans.
and vet they are constantly violated by
the officials paid to defend them all.
This 10 the rub Of Captain McC Cullagh's
insolencs. He has no right to interfere
with the right If public assemblaee. If
he does. he is liable 70 punishment
under the Law. Still less. then, has he
. right 70 condone odSnses against Law
In favor Of one set Of people. In order
that he may be able 10 bully and hinder
